[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I correct it by finding a way to repeat back to them what they said, using the corrected grammar, but in the service of moving the conversation along so the correction isn’t the focus. For example, “I want less potatoes!” “Why do you want fewer potatoes? They’re so delicious!” “He goed to the park today.” “He went to the park today? Which park?”[/quote] I do something like this. Once in a while I will make a more explicit correction when I think it will be useful, but most stuff I think they will figure out on their own. Also, my kids go to Catholic school, so they should be taught grammar explicitly at some point at school. [/quote]
